The patterns that are covering the wall are so intense, so beautiful. It’s almost as if I’m in an Aztec temple staring at their wall paintings.

The lights need to go off. I want to see the entire basement covered in these patterns.

There, that’s better. Something is still missing though.

MUSIC!

What should I listen to? It has to be fast, and full of energy. It can’t be dark, no metal.

Fuck, what should I listen to? What about this band, The Faint.

I open up limewire and download every song by The Faint.

Alright, first song: Worked up so Sexual.

The beginning of the song sounds almost as if someone was scratching their fingernails across a chalkboard, but then, the drum begins to play. In a split second the song starts, full blast.

I begin to let my body be taken by the rhythm, I watch as the patterns move around me, almost as if they were coming out of a disco ball. The happiness emanating from with in me is blinding.

I jump around to the thunderous bass of “Your Retro Career Melted” and sway back and forth to “Posed to Death”. Nothing can stop me right now, not even God himself.

I follow like a soldier called to war when “The Conductor” comes on, and sing my heart out to “Agenda Suicide”.

It’s Midnight

I’ve been tripping for almost 3hours. I don’t want to go to bed, but unless I want to get caught, I’d better go.

I head to my bedroom, covered in sweat. My heart is beating furiously, I feel like im going to drop dead from exhaustion.

I cant fall asleep. I lie in my bed for the next 3 hours waiting for the swirls to go away, and fighting to breathe.

In these precious moments I am free.
